I loved this series. It had such great characters and the plot line was just as fun as the two preceding books. The lessons that Fern and Howard learn about being true to yourself, the power of love and vital role of imagination in what it means to be human in this ever-changing world are just as relevant to adults as to children. One of the central themes that runs through all three of these books is that each of us is unique, with gifts to share with those we love and the world at large. Young or old, we all need that reminder.

I had no idea there was a third book and needless to say, this book did not disappoint! I even loved it more than the second one. As some reviewers mentioned, it is a shame that the books never received more recognition. Such a fun, great series!

MAN I love this series. The first one is still my favorite, but this was quite lovely too.

A book Dilly brought home from the school library. Looking forward to reading the first & second books in this series.

What a fun series! I've been enjoying them myself, and I've also loved the reception they've been getting in my library. I haven't had to sell them to the students at all. I just put [b:The Anybodies|364662|The Anybodies (Anybodies, #1)|N.E. Bode|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348676237l/364662._SX50_.jpg|354703] on the "new" shelf, and it was immediately checked out. Soon I had several requests for the "Anybody" books. [b:The Nobodies|872789|The Nobodies|N.E. Bode|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1387710760l/872789._SY75_.jpg|858154] was also snatched up as soon as I put it out. And I had to put myself on the hold list for The Somebodies because I had so many requests for it before I had a chance to read it!
But you're probably wondering what I thought specifically of The Somebodies. Well, I enjoyed it a lot. Besides all the fun book references (which HAD to be there or I would have been disappointed), there were also a lot of interesting things about books in general - and how authors stitch their souls into books and that every time a reader finishes a book they love, they know the author's soul. But mostly I really liked the overall theme of this one: "The world is always changing, but there's a part of you that never changes. It's essentially you, and you can always rely on it to be true." And, "You've really got to be yourself in this life. You have to rely on something deep inside."
